Most organizations require access to the right geospatial solutions in near real-time to make critical decisions. As geospatial data is the foundation for driving all decision-making – especially for the defense and intelligence arenas – it is critical to use the right technologies that can aid in this speed of deployment.

Thermopylae Sciences and Technology (TST) is a next-generation organization that takes a “Silicon Valley”-like approach to developing web-based geospatial capabilities to help meet this critical industry and government need. The company’s forward-thinking approach to product development has allowed it to bring emerging technologies to its customers in ways that enhances organizational performance.

TST’s iSpatial solution is a Web-based geospatial framework that allows for rapid development/integration of applications on the Google Earth™ API. Designed to reduce both cost and time to deploy a custom geospatial solution, this solution integrates with and leverages existing data sources to promote powerful visualization and knowledge fusion opportunities.

iSpatial provides pre-built tools that can be quickly adopted to specific use cases and delivers the best that Google Earth has to offer combined with capabilities developed by trained geospatial engineers.

It is no surprise that today’s geospatial enterprise has gone mobile. Based on rapid advances in mobile solutions for consumers, government and enterprise users, we imagine that the future of geospatial technologies will keep moving in this direction in a very aggressive fashion.

In addition, for geospatial solutions to be truly effective they need to fully support those in the field – from the warfighter to employees dispersed in disconnected environments, providing advanced collaboration for enhancing decision-making.

Late last year, TerraGo announced the release of its TerraGo Mobile for Android solution, which allows users of Android devices running version 3 or above to access and update intelligent, portable, interactive GeoPDF maps and imagery. This includes using georeferenced notes, audio, photo, video and Web services.

What is unique about this solution is that us enables anyone – even the novice GIS user – to collection data in the field using geoforms that can be easily updated and shared with pretty much anyone, anywhere.
